Travelling...

Hi,

Would just like to share.

Just got back from a trip to Malaysia. On the plane had a gluten-free meal ordered - it was actually really nice. Got it and the hostess, smiled and went to put bread on my tray! Good thing everything was wrapped.

My boss has been fabulous. He actually told our client (we eat out a lot when we travel) that I was allergic to wheat and they all made a very big effort to order foods I can eat. Normally we have beer & discussion session after meetings... they ordered wine for me. I was really touched.

AND I didn't have stomach problems while I was out of town! This is a First!

Still have to think twice before ordering foods.

Went to church yesterday... anyone have problem with the Eucharist? Is it wheat? Think I got done in!

Have a great day.

Sally

Sally, that is great about your trip, I am happy for you to have such a considerate boss.

Yes, the eucharist is definitely wheat, don't have it next time! Either bring your own gluten-free bread, cracker or whatever, if they'll let you, or just have the wine, which is just as valid. That is what I do. I hope you don't get sick.

Thanks Ursula,

Yeah not feeling too good yesterday - itching and stomach cramping - and today (running to toilet).

Lesson learned...

At least I am now REALLY sure that gluten is the problem. :)

Sally

      Has your doctor tested your vitamin D?  Urine Iodine deficiency? Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a contributing factor for oral thrush, especial if you are vegan. Celiac Disease causes  malabsorbtion leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Zinc supplementation reduces Candida infections  I know that zinc is an antiviral and have been using zinc glycomate (Cold Eeze lozanges) since 2004 and have not gotten cold or flu since.  The lozenge coats the mucous membrane with zinc, protecting the cell wall from the virus.  This research paper and some others indicate that zinc also acts as an antifungal.  Worth a try, Try to reduce how much food with high omega 6 that you eat to lower your omeaga 6 to 3 ratio.  It helps with inflammation.  Try eating foods with lots of benificial bacteria.  The goal is to repopulate your gut with good guys. Assuming you do not have dermatitis herpetiformis or another reason to limit iodine, Liquid Iodine to raise your iodine to the 600 mcg a day (middle of the RDA range (150-1000mcg)  to boost your immune system.  Iodine has anti-fungal properties that can help kill Candida species.  Your whole body will heal quicker when you have sufficient iodine and vitamin D.

      I'm not sure if you found what other here have posted on oral thrush, but this might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="Oral thrush"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Welcome to the forum, @JulieRe! You would do well to get checked for a candida infection of the gut. Yeast thrives on carbs so you might also look into a low carb diet. These kinds of things seem to be more common in the celiac community than in the general population. There is a growing body of evidence that the development of celiac disease is rooted in unhealthy gut biome conditions. It's good that you are getting that red spot on your tongue checked out soon. It's likely related to the thrush but I would also not rule out a neoplasm which you would certainly want to catch early.

      Hi there! I have very similar dermatitis herpetiformis responses. The only thing that helps is dissolving a Benadryl pill and rubbing that on the painful itchy spots that arise on my knees, scalp, elbows. I have been working with a nutritionist who also has celiac we narrowed down to me only getting we certified gluten-free products - which I try the best I can. But then I have found products that use guar gum and other additive gums I have reactions as well. It was my plant based milk. I had to switch to Elmhurst it’s just nuts and milk- most of the time.   I hope that’s helpful! I’ll keep following:) we seem to have very similar reactions!
